Summary/Abstract: The article concerns accounting as an information system responding to economic and social needs, both informative and educational. The topic is justified by the belief that both science, its application in practice, and the education itself are realized in response to the needs of society and its development. Development, on the other hand, is part of the future, which, as a rule, should only be better, to which the concept of sustainable development refers. The aim of the article is to present accounting as a sustainable system of providing information to meet economic, social and educational needs, which is important in taking actions for sustainable development. Theoretical considerations concern accounting as a sustainable accounting information system and selected aspects of education as an important area in the pursuit of sustainable development. The illustration of selected educational aspects presents the possibilities of education in accounting. In addition to publicly available information of the possibilities of education in the field of accounting, an in-depth case study was used regarding the studies at the Warsaw School of Economics. The obtained research results indicate that accounting is a balanced information system and an example of a balanced system in education. In both aspects, it is a system that responds to t e needs defined as part of activities undertaken for sustainable development.
